Karma for Shaka! Ha
-
Imagine having that roster with 3 possible draft picks and 3 others that will play professionally and lose in the first round. @BShark

7th, 8th best coach in the league?
-
About right
-
After what happened last night, does Shaka even keep his job at Texas? He’s yet to win a tournament game at Texas losing on a half court shot to Northern Iowa in 2016, blowing a big lead in 2018, and then losing to ACU last night.
Texas has their new arena coming in 2022 so Texas probably has a decision to make about Shaka’s future with the program.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Ironic since he mostly got the job on the heels of his tournament success. That was an elite 8/final four caliber team.
Also funny that after Gonzaga’s blow out yesterday the tv kept talking about their streak of first round wins. 12 in a row I think. Second only too… Kansas of course. For all the moaning a lot of us did mid game yesterday about how this can’t be happening again, why does this always happen to us, yada yada yada, we’ve been better than most come March. Yes it helps to be favored in EVERY first round game but that’s not an accident. Self being labeled a great “regular season coach” is why we are always in such a good position to win some games this time of year.
I do think Texas will drop Shaka. The sports radio around here is not going to let this one go for a while and I don’t think the fans will either.

Illinois having trouble with Jokic lite right now. Go Ramblers

I think it heats up the seat up - lots of fans were already not happy. - - I bet he is getting roasted on their boards right now

This was Shaka best shot let’s see Coleman is gone – - -Kia Jones probably gonna test the waters anyway oh hell cant remember his name their Center is gone - -Jones is done isn’t he?
-
Bad things happen to teams that slap the floor
-
Illinois in BIG TIME trouble - gonna have to step it up down by 11 with 4:25 to go. - - Rafferty almost crying pleading with Illinois to win this game mercy pathetic - -got step it up - -and just about falling out of his chair every time they score lol
-
Look out - -Illinois down 9 with like 3:09 to go. - Boy this will screw with people I know no one picking Loyola over Illinois in the 2nd round lol - - bust them brackets
-
For Shaka to get canned, someone’s going to have to break the news to UT’s money people they have a basketball team.
Also Sister Jean may, in fact, be the lord
-
As a lifetime BIG fan I’m mildly embarrassed right now. Toughest league in the land we kept saying. But they’re toast. Just an awful performance by Illinois.
-
@FarmerJayhawk UT donors just got done ponying up about $350 million for a new basketball arena. They’re aware basketball exists and the new arena is the main reason why Shaka’s seat should be hotter than it was last year.
-
As a Chicagoan, I am at least glad they’re losing to a Chicago team. Got to love Loyola which was horribly under seeded. I could say Illinois deserved to play an easier 8 seed, but they played like crap and choked this away. Go sister Jean! And of course, Rock Chalk monday night!
-
Illinois is - - -DONE - - ya hear me - - DONE/COOKED/FINISHED mercy - -did they say BIG What ?

It’s smokin
-
And Sister Jean & the Ramblers upset the Illini. Lord have mercy !
(Equal time for the Baptists…Baylor up next. And Oral Roberts later.)
-
Any top level team needing a coach, looking at you Indiana should be burning up Porter Moser’s inbox right now.
-
Now I’m just saying not making Big out of it BUT Illinois if Okie State can take car of business today - -this at least improves Okie States chances of going deeper
-
That day I met Porter Moser two years ago and told him I still had college eligibility. I could’ve been out there today.
-
@jayballer67 Don’t know who to root for in that one. Oregon State named their court after longtime coach Ralph Miller, who was from Chanute and played for Phog Allen himself.
-
@wissox looked pretty athletic carrying that flag yesterday!
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I’m aware. ‘Twas a joke my dude
-
Anybody got Wisconsin?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 It was a blast. I picked the Badgers in one of my brackets to beat Baylor but I really don’t think it’s happening.
-
FLOP WARNING FLOP WARNING FLOP WARNING
-
So down goes Illinois and that popping sound you heard is my bracket getting thoroughly busted.
-
Baylor is falling their way to victory right now. Flopping all over the court.
-
Another BIG team getting whipped Baylor taking Wisconsin to the shed - hoping it continues helps show who the real toughest league is, Baylor quick today for sure

The right side of my bracket just kicked my butt PERIOD - total diaster

Not like Ohio State didn’t already do me in with their loss but this one hurt B1G time. My brackets are toast.
What gets me are the people who still have a perfect bracket. How in the heck does anyone have the foresight to pick Oral Roberts? I’ve never figured it out.

Nobody has a perfect bracket left after Ohio won last night.
-
Glad I haven’t done brackets for a while. It’s stressful enough rooting for KU.
-
Illinois bye-bye. Another Big10 1 seed Michigan will soon be the same. Kansas will beat USC. I’m hoping for the Zags to stumble, opening up our bracket. People you can all say that I’m on hallucinogenics, but with all of the upsets and a couple more breaks it is not out of the realm of possibility that Kansas can win the National Championship.
-
Well looks like West Virginia is Done - -thought they would do better this year
-
Huggy bear is not a good tourney coach. Consistent at losing early
-
Another double-digit seed wins. Syracuse over WVU.
Oral Roberts - Florida next.
By the way, the last time ORU made it into the NCAA second round was 1974, when there were only 25 teams in the tournament field.
Ah, I remember it well…KU managed to outlast them in OT in front of a pro-ORU crowd in Tulsa to win the Midwest Regional and go to the national semifinals (before they called it the Final Four). The Eagles’ coach, Ken Trickey, had already announced that he was resigning. The night before the game, he got arrested on a suspected DUI (but was actually given a “reckless driving” charge).
As for the Jayhawks, they lost to Marquette in the semis and to Bill Walton & UCLA in the now-defunct third-place game. NC State won the title that year, led by David Thompson.
-
Syracuse was pretty fortunate to win that game. West Virginia played about as badly as they could, shot 15% worse from the field, and still almost won at the end.
-
Texas tech getting screwed by the refs
-
Wow these refs cannot get anything right
-
Pat Adams is a SEC referee who once ejected a commentator. Not surprised Tech is getting screwed.
-
Mcflung with a missed 1 and 1
-
Missed 1 and 1 and missed lay-up. Tech choked
-
Wild ending and tech goes down on missed plays
-
Tech just flat ass plain and simple BLEW that game. - - Down 1 , your best free throw shooter misses free point - – you miss 2 dead layups in the final Seconds - you deserve to lose - Holy Bat Shit Robin
-
Missed 1 and 1 and missed lay-ups. Game was there for TTU to steal, and they didn’t execute in the last minute…
